The Assembly Place to debut ‘AI-powered’ co-living property at Lorong 22 Geylang
The Assembly Place (TAP) has already participated in an occupancy agreement with Char Yong (Dabu) Association for a dual-block real estate at 27 and 29 Lorong 22 Geylang.
It is fitting, then, that TAP’s newest project in Geylang will be its most ambitious yet. “We are demonstrating what the potential of neighborhood living can look like, in a neighbourhood that deserves that type of investment,” Lim says.
TAP is going to lease the property from Char Yong (Dabu) Association– one of Singapore’s oldest clan organizations– for 15 years, with an option to renew the rent for a further five years.

Char Yong (Dabu) Association is expected to turn over the real estate to TAP on June 1, with the community living operator focused to commence operations at the brand-new location around the end of October.
Following TAP, the development will certainly have around 80 areas. As TAP’s flagship AI-powered co-living property, it is going to include smart building systems, data-driven community management capabilities and curated resident programming. It will also have TAP’s initial specialized AI Lab– a common area designed as a high-performance work area and collaborative neighborhood center.
ETC, that represented Char Yong (Dabu) Association, aided the landlord protect the tenancy agreement with TAP. “Given the property’s residential use and the progressing profile of Geylang as a dynamic city-fringe district, we saw strong possibility in arranging it for a co-living idea,” says Velina Kwan, co-head of company space and retail at ETC
Comprising a four-storey block and an eight-storey block, the real property has an overall gross floor space of about 26,889 sq ft across 2 adjacent structures. The block at 27 Lorong 22 Geylang currently houses exclusive residential walk-up apartments, while 29 Lorong 22 Geylang acts as the premises for the historic organization which serves the Dabu Hakka community.
Kwan added that the precinct has significantly established itself as a key co-living hub in Singapore, supported by strong connectivity, standard of living offerings and an unique cultural character.
The building will certainly be TAP’s fifth location in Geylang, reflecting the group’s conviction in the area’s potential, says Eugene Lim, its executive supervisor and CEO. “Geylang is one of Singapore’s most culturally split and historically significant districts, and we have watched it evolve progressively as a city fringe location, with far better connectivity, more variety in its resident base, and enhancing facilities.”
The AI Lab will organize regularly construct nights where locals deal with personalized AI projects, once a month demonstration days to display their job, and sessions featuring guest audio speakers from AI-related industries. Other efforts are going to consist of engineering workshops and mentorship pairings “in between tech-savvy and non-technical residents”.
. The real estate is surrounded by a blend of workplaces, residential developments, heritage associations and popular local eateries.
TAP deals to transform the real estate right into Singapore’s “first AI-powered co-living development”, developed to provide a “technology-abled and community-centric living experience”.
